they are coming down tomorrow in fact. so we are hoping we can release state funds quickly if they are available to us and we can start work immediately on it. >> reporter: now, if that emergency money comes through from the state that will only be part of the solution here, brian. there is another major project that will start at the end of summer from the san fransesquito creek joint powers authority to widen the creekbed and strengthen the levees for a major event a 100-year flood. it will also help if the bay ever rises due to global warming. we have talked about that before. if that water level comes up, that will help that situation, as well. so very needed. you need the quick fix now as well as the permanent fix for later. >> thank you, len ramirez. new at 6:00 if you think muni buses are crowded now just wait because big brother is about to hop on board. and cbs 5 reporter mike sugerman says won't just be

watching. he will be listening, too. mike. >> reporter: maybe you should call this big bus is watching and listening. it's lights, camera, muni. it's one of those stories that people of good faith on both sides say, how can you think that? but if technology improves, this dispute only gets more intense. muni usually isn't the stuff of hollywood until it is. all 800 or so muni buses and several hundred trains are waiting to be changed so you can have your close-up. or to help police figure who might have been at fault in this 2009 crash. or maybe to finger a pickpocket. cameras and microphones have been in place for over a decade but change is coming. they record in the camera and erase themselves every 48 hours but soon then be transmitted

back to muni or police in realtime. that has privacy advocates upset. >> all are dealing with a cop over their shoulders. >> reporter: the electronic frontier foundation says authorities shouldn't be able to know what you're doing it all the. >> we're unable to have conversations free from surveillance unable to go around the city with anonymity. >> public information. >> reporter: paul rose who speaks for muni says right now if a request comes in for the video it has to be copied on a dvd and that takes time. it will save money so that's why homeland security is giving muni $5.5 million to get it done. it's all legal and common place, he says. >> our audio and video surveillance does not have the capability to listen in on specific conversations. the surveillance system as it is right now and the new system only picks up footage and audio generally. >> reporter: riders seem to be

split on the issue. >> well, we would be able to is footprints and be able to utilize the information perhaps without disclosing how they use it. >> actually, i approve of them because i have been a muni rider for over 4 years and i have seen everything on these buses. >> reporter: the new transmission system will start being installed over the next several months. liz, homeland security has given out a ton of dough to other agencies, new york, chicago, washington, so san francisco is far from alone. >> you know, mike, we have seen cameras on public areas before. but the audio seems a little bit more excessive. any clue as to why they want that? >> reporter: they can improve it. i listened to a lot of the tapes and you can't hear specific conversations. but technology is not that good. so i don't really think people have to worry about that. >> all right.

mike, thank you. a memorial is growing outside a mission district market where a driver tried to flee police causing a deadly crash. it happened yesterday near 21st and south van ness in san francisco. officers say they were trying to pull the man over in connection with the shooting when he took off, ran a red light and slammed into another car. the impact killed the woman in that car and a man on the sidewalk. >> it's senseless. you know, it's really mindless tragedy. this guy just had to run from the police because he wanted to take shots at people. >> the suspect is a 19-year-old known gang member named david morales. he is recovering from his own injuries and has been charged with two counts of murder. he also faces attempted murder and firearms charges for the shooting incident. there are still a lot of questions around the murder of a wealthy businessman in an exclusive enclave of santa clara county. but there's new information coming out that could lead to

clues on a motive. cbs 5 reporter mark sayre tells us there could be more arrests coming. hi, mark. >> reporter: well, brian, yet another suspect in this case was in court here today as court documents reveal some new questions about the lifestyle of the victim. 21-year-old javier garcia appeared in santa clara county superior court this afternoon. garcia who was arrested in oakland last week faces 6 felony charges in connection with the murder. amir alem is the district attorney. >> count 1 is murder. they are also charged with robbery. home invasion robbery. >> reporter: alem says he cannot discuss the facts of the case because the charging documents remain under court seal. >> we file it under seal because it's pending investigation and that would negatively affect potentially the investigation and we don't want that to happen. >> reporter: kumra was found dead in this mansion in the

early-morning hours of november 30th after his wife called 911 reporting several people had broken into the home. so far, four people have been arrested. 22-year-old raven dixon from alameda was the first to appear in court facing charges of accessory to murder with a gang enhancement. javier garcia appeared in court today. 26-year-old lucas anderson was arraigned last week. and 21-year-old deangelo austin was arrested in sacramento and is expected to be arraigned tomorrow. javier garcia's family left the courthouse today without making any comments. >> we're not absolutely sure that there aren't other suspects out there that will be apprehended, arrested in this case. >> reporter: sergeant kerry harris of the los gatos- monte sereno police department says police cannot provide more information about the case because it is still under investigation. but court documents from 2006 obtained by the "mercury news" paint a picture of a millionaire businessman accused of questionable business practices and a sham divorce.

>> the key for us is to make sure we exhaust every investigative lead before we start talking too much about the case. >> reporter: and the fourth and final suspect in the case at least arrested so far is expected to be arraigned here tomorrow afternoon. at this point, we do not know if three or possibly all four of those suspects will be tried together. reporting live in san jose, i'm mark sayre, cbs 5. >> thank you. other bay area headlines. a rockslide on highway 17 shut down the road briefly this morning. it happened in the southbound lanes between redwood estates and summit road. crews cleaned it up quickly and the road was open before noon. and the water is back on in a hayward neighborhood where a broken pipe flooded the area overnight. water was shut off and lanes closed near jackson and santa clara streets while crews did the repairs. public works officials say the pipe that ruptured was affected by cold weather and heavy rain. and now that the holiday

right now, the average single family homeowner pays 27.91 a month for the 32-gallon trash, recycling and compost bins. the proposed hike would bring that monthly amount up to 34.54. recology says the new amount would include charges for the recycling and compost bins which would be $2 each. >> the increase is really relates to increased costs such as fuel and also some new programs such as sorting of the black bins. >> reporter: at $27.91 a month for the typical residents right now, san francisco is in the middle of the pack for garbage rates compared to neighboring cities. but the new rates would make san francisco one of the highest. some recology customers don't like the proposal and say it doesn't pass the smell test. >> for normal garbage i wouldn't mind paying more but for recycling where they are making money off our junk anyways, i don't think that's fair. >> they are actually making money off the recycling because they sell that the composting and the recycle materials. those go to market. they find places. so they get in income from

there, too. so it just doesn't really add up. >> reporter: if city officials approve recology's request, the new rates would go into effect starting july 1. in san francisco, i'm da lin, cbs 5. a new clue in the case of a pet dog killed in a bay area robbery. tonight, the surveillance video. >> and it's the end of an era for the exploratorium in san francisco. where it's moving and what will be lost in the transition. >> from the cbs 5 weather center, good evening, everybody. last night we dropped down to 26 degrees in sonoma. tonight, just how low will it go? the pinpoint forecast from san jose as eyewitness news continues right here on cbs 5. ,, ,,,,,,,,,, look at you guys with your fancy-schmancy

>> reporter: she is so afraid she doesn't want to be identified. >> we're going to get you. >> reporter: while san francisco police continue this investigation, they also have a message for anyone even thinking of committing a crime. >> in this city, there's video surveillance everywhere. there's local markets around. there are people who live in the apartment complex that have video that shoots out in the street, as well. so there's not going to be a corner of the street that we may not be able to find video. >> it doesn't matter if it was a dog or a person. something was cold for no reason. -- something was killed for no reason. it was an innocent little thing, a little creature. >> anyone who may recognize the man in the surveillance video is asked to call the san francisco police. and new tonight, a federal judge refused to block california's ban on selling and possession of shark fins. the two chinese-american groups

degrees. that was the warm spot after realizing an overnight low of 38 degrees. in fact, our temperatures last night dipped down to 26 in sonoma. it was 28 degrees in santa rosa. what a recovery there today. currently we're in the 40s and 50s. these numbers won't be as cold overnight tonight as last night due to the return of a few mid- and high-level clouds. in fact it will still be freezing but not as cold. 30 degrees in santa rosa, below freezing in the tri-valley, 36 degrees in san jose. upper 30s to mid-50s across the central bay. here's what you need to know. partly cloudy overnight tonight. 36 to 44 overnight south bay and in the city. partly cloudy for your thursday. in the mid-40s. pretty much across the board with a flat wind and it is a volunteer "spare the air." we do have this area of low pressure to the north of the bay area. it's banking up against a ridge of high pressure shearing apart at the seams here. high pressure is going to remain in control but some of these clouds are going to slip

under the ridge. we'll call it a dirty ridge of high pressure. therefore some partly cloudy conditions. highs will play out like this. 50s across the board. 52 degrees in fairfield. 53 when you look at the seven- day forecast you're saying hey where's that 60 degrees? let's find it. that's in santa cruz. in fact, we will see increasing cloud cover on saturday. otherwise, dry conditions all the way through that period. and that is your pinpoint forecast. >> thank you. still ahead, how people in one bay area city will be identified in a way they never have before. >> ethically, that's over the line i think. >> critics call it a marketing trick. what some colleges are doing to students to make a school seem more desirable. ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

immigration reform. the city will be issuing wht calls, a first of its kind d card for people without leg

immigration status. the mayor oakland is making immigration reform issuing a first-of-its-kind i.d. card for people without legal immigration status. the mayor showed an example of the card this afternoon. it's unique because it's also designed to function as a debit card. >> there were transgender people who said they wanted this card because they didn't have to put male or female. there were older african- americans that didn't have the traditional kind of id that grew up in rural areas or other people who grew up in rural areas in north america and didn't have the traditional birth certificates. >> but critics say the cards legitimize the presence of illegal immigrants. oakland is working out the details about how the debit part of the card will work. the city expects to issue 6,000 cards this year alone. colleges are going after high school students in a big way these days. they are sending out large numbers of solicitations hoping

more students will apply. cbs 5's elizabeth wenger explains the ulterior motive behind the efforts. >> reporter: almost every day nicholas arnold high school sophomore at saint ignatius in san francisco gets letters from colleges encouraging little to apply. >> it's pressure and almost over-information. >> reporter: it keeps coming versus email and snail mail. increasingly universities are approaching younger students. >> there are far too many universities that are deploying these instant applications then turning around and rejecting students purely to have more rejections. ethically, that's over the line i think. >> reporter: encouraging larger bodies of students to apply has become a common practice. as schools look to lower their overall acceptance rates, it accounts for 15% of a program's

ranking in u.s. news & world report, the go to publication for students and advisors. admission staff at santa clara say they have seen a 40% jump in the number of applicants and that's without using marketing tactics such as fast applications that waive fees and essay portions. on the other hand, the university does pay more than 30 cents per student to access contact information for more than 60,000 kids. >> the whole obsession with rankings and admit rates really depends on where you are in the pecking order. there's a food chain to this. and if you're at the top that's fine you can do whatever you want. if you're at the bottom you're going to be trying to do new marketing tricks that will maybe improve your numbers to make you look better sometimes than you are. >> reporter: santa clara's acceptance rate is 68% higher than others in the region. santa clara's numbers hardly propels it into the highest

a bill that will prevent a middle class tax hike and delay automatic spending cuts. mark goldwine of the committee for a responsible federal budget says, congress missed an opportunity to tackle the ballooning federal debt. >> this problem isn't going away and so they are going to keep working on it until they get it. >> reporter: the bill raises taxes on families making more than $450,000 a year. and it extends long-term jobless benefits for a year. but the law does not include spending cuts and social security and medicare reform leaving many lawmakers doubtful congress will ever reach a sweeping budget deal. >> quite frankly the president won't show the leadership to do it on the entitlement side. we have been slow to the dance on the revenue side. >> reporter: another showdown is just around the corner. in two months, the treasury needs to increase the amount of money the country can borrow, and lawmakers must approve it. >> i'm most worried about what's happening next. so after this, i think we have another cliff to go over and

that's really scaring me, too with the debt ceiling. >> reporter: the last time congress fought over the debt ceiling, america's credit rating was downgraded. danielle nottingham, cbs news, washington. stocks soared after congress passed the budget deal. the dow jumped 308 points on the first trading day of the year. that's the biggest single day gain since december of 2011. the s&p and the nasdaq also rose. there is other drama on capitol hill today over a relief bill for victims of superstorm sandy. it caused more than $36 billion in damage for new jersey alone. a fuming governor chris christie says that he was assured by congressional leaders that a relief package would be put to a vote. but last night house speaker john boehner pulled the legislation he says because of scheduling problems. >> politics was placed before

that is their best start since 1991. you remember 1991. that was when don nelson's run tmc was in full effect. the raiders were still in los angeles. the sharks were in their first year at the cow palace. it was my second year in this television market. and ladies! i was a single man. i was out there looking. >> i think it's great for basketball because both places have loyal fans and also both places have been through some, you know, some tough stretches. >> vinnie delnegro's clippers are riding a 17-game win streak until they lost last night in denver. the streak was tied for the 12th longest in league history. the lakers won 33 straight games between 1971 and '72. >> my 13-year-old son is, you know, i was at home and he goes i want the clippers to win so that you guys can break the streak. i'm like are you kidding me?

>> we are not going to cry on the plane and get beat down and, you know, cause us to hurt our confidence. >> with blake griffin, okay, you know, this guy with the clippers it's just not the same old paper clips. i mean, blake griffin has simply soared to the top of the stratosphere in the league. his jersey is the 8th hottest selling swag in the entire league. he has had success while his brother taylor has been fighting for that all the way down in santa cruz. >> reporter: blake griffin slam- dunk his way -- slam-dunk his way into mainstream in the 2011 all-star game. the clippers player has soared ever since. not so much for older brother taylor, a 2009 second round pick by the phoenix suns at

6'8", his nba career spanned just 8 games. now his journey has landed with the santa cruz warriors. a d league team in the developmental league still hoping for a second shot one day. >> that dream keeps us coming back and keeps us fueled. the pay in the d league is not great. we're not here to make money. it's an investment. it's an opportunities to better your career. you know, maybe this year, maybe the next, maybe in two years. >> reporter: both played high school together at oklahoma together, separated by three years, two inches and thus far nba level ability. i bet when you're at home, in the back of your mind, you can say blake you might be a little bit taller but i'm your older brother. >> oh, yeah. >> reporter: i can put you right over my knee right now. >> that will never change. he knows that. >> reporter: couple of boys growing up probably got in trouble a lot playing ball in the house. >> oh, yeah, in the house,

front yard, backyard, pool, everywhere. there was a point in time where we couldn't do anything without ending in a fight. that's just growing up with a brother. that's how it is. >> wrong sport. >> reporter: you chuckle at these commercials him being a pitchman now? >> he has a talent for all that, for the kia commercials... [ laughter ] >> the game fly commercials. he has a talent. >> reporter: all right. switching to the nfl news, one of the league's most intense players is calling it quits. [ indiscernible ] for greatness. that means you okay with being mediocre. >> after 17 seasons, 37-year- old ray lewis will retire. the ravens linebacker has been to 12 pro bowls and set a

record for fewest points allowed with baltimore. his bust will be in canton soon. >> so many other areas of life and my children, i -- my children have made the ultimate sacrifice for their father, the ultimate, for 17 years. and whether jump on a plane, jump back, go to school, i don't want to see them do that no more. >> one of the truly great impact players. just a little while it will be warriors basketball! the clippers in town. highlights coming up on "the late show." >> all right. as usual, well done, mr. glenn. we'll check in with you. for news throughout the evening, the latest is always on cbs5.com. >> our next newscast is at 10:00 on the cw 44/cable 12 and at 11:00 on cbs 5. captions by: caption colorado comments@captioncolorado.com ,,,,,,,,
